Israeli bus shot at near border with Egypt

Gunmen have fired at an Israeli bus which was travelling near the Egyptian border, wounding at least four people, Israeli sources say.

The bus was attacked north of the Israeli Red Sea resort city of Eilat.
Several gunmen ambushed the civilian bus, Israeli radio said.
The gunfire appeared to come from the Egyptian side of the border, and came shortly after an Egged bus left Eilat, heading north, security sources told the AFP news agency.
A vehicle carrying the gunmen seemed to have followed the bus, then two to three men jumped out and opened fire with automatic weapons, Israeli radio reported quoting Israeli officials.
Security forces are said to be in pursuit of the gunmen's vehicle.
